Agile Bronze Chromis - South Pacific

The Agile Bronze Chromis (Chromis agilis) are active swimmers and spend most of their time in the upper to mid-levels of an aquarium during the day. They have a bronze or orange coloration, a yellow caudal fin and a blue eye. They are very easy to maintain and do not require much care or time. A good assortment of live rock will make them feel right at home. The Chromis is a great addition in your tank because of its peaceful nature and for its unique color. If you have created a perfect biotope for this fish, you may be lucky enough to see them spawn. The male will prepare a nest in the sand, in which several females of the species will share. Once fertilized, the male will guard the nest until the eggs hatch and encourage water flow by fanning the nest. Eggs that are not fertilized or showing no signs of hatching will be eaten by the male. The Chromis is a great addition in your tank because of its peaceful nature and for its unique color, thus making a very valuable addition to your home tank.
